a coffee shop with people sitting at tables

This is a very nice Starbucks! Located right off of King Street and Calhoun next to the Francis Marion Hotel. Right in the heart of Downtown Charleston. Like most Starbucks, this location can get super busy at times. But they do offer order ahead so you can get in and out. The staff are super friendly and nice. If you're not sure what you feel like drinking, they are quick to offer suggestions. The inside is spacious with cute decorations.

Sure it's Starbucks, but at least they try to have a community feel here... and a hashtag!

I'm not really a regular at any Starbucks location, this one's always slammed. Calhoun and King is a major intersection (for cars and pedestrians) downtown. This Starbucks gets a lot of business from Marion Square, the Francis Marion Hotel, College of Charleston, and both tourists and locals who are walking around downtown and decide they want Starbucks. With the crowds, you may have to wait, but if you have the mobile app, you can order online and pick up your order when you get there. This location has a seperate line just for mobile app orders which makes that convenient. Food and drink wise, it is on par with other Starbucks. There's a good selection of tumblers as well as grab-and-go items like protein boxes and salads, which other locations seem to run out of fairly quickly. This location has ample space and tables if you want to stay awhile and enjoy your food or beverages in the A/C!

OK Starbucks is known for quick service, but not always friendly service. THIS Starbucks has always provided me both. No matter if I order ahead, grab a seat to study, or order on the spot. The service and efficiency is always A1. I love the updated decor and I love how my order is always correct and given with a smile... I usually never leave reviews for chain restaurants, but This locations deserves the praise. So this is for you Starbucks on the corner of Calhoun and King... you deserve it.

This Starbucks is awesome! Right near my work, I go semi frequently for my caffeine fix. I like to order ahead for pickup, as I'm not supposed to head out for long during the work day. No fail, it's always ready when I arrive or very quickly after I do. The staff is friendly and efficient. They make a great drink too!

Starbucks on the corner of King Street and Calhoun Street at the Francis Marion is a great place to get a coffee and a snack. This location is one of the best in Charleston as it is easy to walk to from just about anywhere on the Peninsula and across from Marion Square. I enjoy coming here and it is very quick from the time you make your order until it is ready. The service here is very friendly and it seems like the staff is happy and smiling most of the time and that makes you feel good even on a tough day. This location is also good to stop and get some work done or have a business meeting as there are plenty of comfortable places to sit down and open spots to get done what you need to get done.

This Starbucks is fantastic. The barista Sean makes a mean Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino! Hope this helps.

Had the best time during the Yelpies awards here at Kudu! The vibes at this place were on point! I…read morelove that they have a huge patio area for when you want a more open space. The inside of the cafe is very cozy and perfect for doing school work and some work from home stuff. The pastries were delicious as well and the drinks were the best part. They have a huge selection of coffee and they also serve beer so they have something for everyone. The drinks came out really fast considering that there were a lot of people in the event. What I liked best was that the owners seemed very supportive of the staff and very engaging towards everyone that was there. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy place for coffee in downtown!

Bev and I had a beautiful ride from Pawleys Island to Charleston. We easily found a parking spot…read morearound the corner of Kudu Coffee and Beer. Jenny and Johnny own the Kudu Coffee and Beer. They were so gracious to Host the Yelpies Award Ceremony this year. Bev and I use walker and did not know what to expect. As we were walking past the gated Garden Scotty C. opened the gate for us and welcomed us warmly. Jenny ( the owner) went to get a hot chocolate for Bev and a coffee for me. I was overwhelmed and yet felt connected at once. We met about a half dozen people within 5 minutes. . The atmosphere was exciting and joyful. Like a reunion for the first time. We were invited to sit at the table with lamp warmers. Right next to Nanda's Pizza spot. I saw pizza in my near future. I took a moment to look around and see everything around us. This place is fantastic. Perfect for a group to meet up. The food and drinks were exceptional. The place was clean and well lit. I decided to have my one year Yelp photo taken. It was fun. I had someone help me with the technical part. Bev and I were enjoying ourselves so much. Scotty brought our drinks to us. As people circled around they stopped to chat with us. It was lovely. The music was great! The music stopped when Scotty welcomed everyone and the formal Thank You was delivered with enthusiasm by everyone. Such a special group of people. We are so glad to be a part of the Yelpies. The celebration was palpable. Such kindness and acceptance all around. Bev and I wandered in to look around. I'm so happy we did. We met Jay and Millie by the Robots. It was amazing. They took our photo and the robot sketched it out in a Santa Christmas theme . We were able to keep the card. Johnny (the Owner) offered us a chocolate croissant.... I did not say no to that. Yummy,delicious, scrumptious, for a few words. It was a Taste Bud Party in one bite! Thank you. We also got to meet a few others behind the scenes that work there... Amelia at the Bar Cami making sandwiches Ray helping everywhere Debi at the bar Also we met Shawna Charles Toni Bev Gail Nanda Jay and Millie I recommend Kudu Coffee and Beer to everyone visiting Charleston. The value is worth every cent. Say hi to Johnny and Jenny ! Tell them the Yelpies sent you.
